I have similar memories to Maestri's about this one. I don't know if it was the first one I ever heard as a full Beatle-album, but surelyit was the first thing I pulled out when I was about 12 or 13. That was when I really started to get into the Lads, and I thought "ok, let's hear this one." And it was a blast... It was just so different from anything I'd heard before... It was so real. I can't describe better what I felt about it then, just that it was so very real all round. (lol, I know I don't make sense, but I just had to say this )
